Re: 4. Alive vs. Habit
It's so hard to listen to Eddie shred his vocals like that, and it doesn't sound that good. I prefer the studio version, which better captures the unhinged and furious nature of the performance while somehow making the whole thing melodic. That's not happening here (and I don't like the extended pause before the final chorus/outro).
Not the version of Alive I would have picked, but still incredible pretty much top to bottom.. The outro of Alive always makes me wish I was at a show. Without question it is always the highlight.

Re: 4. Alive vs. Habit
Alive seems to have been stripped from the concerts on youtube. If someone finds actual video of the performance please post it.

Re: 4. Alive vs. Habit
The Alive outro makes this an easy vote over Habit. It's one of those moments in a show that can really develop into something that feels like catharsis. And at that point, I'm not sure what more I could ask of from a concert.

If it wasn't for the "speaking as a child of the 90's" line it would be in my top 20-25. The guitars are great.evenslow wrote:one of the things i'm willing to admit this board changed my mind about was habit. habit fucking rules so hard.
